<p class="rubric">Notes</p>
<p>This method relys on the data fitted in Equation 4-1 in Sloan and Koh
(2008), which is over a restricted range of temperature and pressure.
In particular, when the pressure is outside (usually lower than) the 
range of data, the model can predict spurious results.</p>
<p>TODO (S. Socolofsky, October 1, 2013):  Get the original papers and 
understand the limits of the range of applicability of this model.  
Use this understanding to put bounds on the computation and ensure
that accurate results are always returned.</p>
